Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering polycarbonate's thermal expansion.Utilize oversized holes or slotted fasteners to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, preventing stress-induced cracking.
Applying harsh cleaning chemicals that can degrade polycarbonate.Clean with mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners to maintain optical clarity and material integrity.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery
  • Transparent enclosures for hydraulic power units

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically treated for outdoor use, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Do not subject the sheet to sharp impacts or abrasive materials that could cause surface damage or compromise structural integrity.
